Jonathan Alter: Dick Cheney is emboldening terrorists



Rightardia agrees. Cheney's comments are off of the chart. Cheney is putting partisian petty politics above the national interest. A former vice president should know better.

"As I watched the events of the last few days, it is clear once again that President Obama is trying to pretend we are not at war. He seems to think that if he has a low-key response to [the attempt to blow up an airliner] that we won't be at war."

Richard B. Cheney

GOOD NEWS! Someday Dick Cheney is going to go away, I promise you that. Is that the best argument du jour he can come up with regarding Obama - that he does not express sufficient emotion or anger? That he is too cerebral. Isn't that what we want in a president? In this way he is much like Jack Kennedy. The angriest statement JFK ever made while president was when he lashed out at "the utter contempt" of the executives at U.S. Steel toward the American people. But even in this instance, Kennedy's tone was measured and restrained. He was not a man given to freaking out. Seriously, would we like a repeat of the shoot-from-the-hip, cowboy idiocy of the Bush/Cheney years? Look at all the good that did us. Obama's seeming, contemplative demeanor is one of the things about the man that reassures me. Call it a silly quirk in my psychological make up, but I like my presidents to think things through. What can I tell you, I'm kind of funny that way.

Thank you for you comments. Cheney has become an angry lose canon and apologist for the horrible Bush Administration. He was the architect of the Iraq War and should be forever damned for his complicity in an unnecessary trillion dollar war.

His daughter, Liz, is just as nasty as her father.

We do need a cerebral president like Obama. We'll get into a lot less trouble than Dubya led us into with his 'gut check' decisions. Bush was never an intuitive person.
